Since it's been quiet lately, I'll add something useful that I was honestly surprised by.
Did you know that Joss Whedon wrote the script to "Alien: Resurrection?"
Here's what he had to say about it:
"It wasn't a question of doing everything differently, although they changed the ending; it was mostly a matter of doing everything wrong. They said the lines...mostly...but they said them all wrong. And they cast it wrong. And they designed it wrong. And they scored it wrong. They did everything wrong that they could possibly do. There's actually a fascinating lesson in filmmaking, because everything that they did reflects back to the script or looks like something from the script, and people assume that, if I hated it, then they’d changed the script...but it wasn’t so much that they’d changed the script; it’s that they just executed it in such a ghastly fashion as to render it almost unwatchable."

I did know that Joss Whedon wrote it. I can see traces of some of his trademark "quirky-ness" but it definitely doesn't feel like a Joss Whedon script when you watch the flick.
